Knee Ligament Injuries in Rotherham

The knee has four major stabilising ligaments: the anterior cruciate (ACL), posterior cruciate (PCL), medial collateral (MCL) and lateral collateral (LCL). An injury to any of these causes pain, swelling and a feeling that the knee gives way. The ACL is the most commonly torn, usually from a non-contact pivoting or deceleration injury in football, netball, rugby, skiing or running.

At Kinvara Private Hospital in Rotherham, three consultant knee surgeons (Mr Janos Patko, Mr Andy Legg and Mr Ed Holloway) assess and treat the full range of single and multi-ligament knee injuries. We offer rapid-access MRI within 1 to 2 weeks of enquiry, accurate grading of the tear, and a treatment plan tailored to whether you are a high-demand athlete, an active worker or a patient who can manage their lifestyle around an unstable knee.

Not every ligament injury needs surgery. Isolated MCL tears and many partial PCL injuries heal with bracing and structured physiotherapy. A complete ACL tear in an active patient typically requires reconstruction. Complex multi-ligament injuries are handled by our specialist sports knee team. We see patients from Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Wakefield, Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region. 0% interest finance is available over 12 months through Humm for treatments over £500.
